Using more than one Operating Panel to control the sonar
(Mk2)
A secondary Operating Panel may be connected to the Processor Unit. This may be useful
in conjunction with a second display if you wish to control the MF90 system from two
different locations on your vessel.
Prerequisites
The Operating Panel is installed as specified in this manual. The Processor Unit is turned
on. The following specific items are required for this task:
• Computer mouse
• Computer keyboard
• Ethernet switch
Make sure that your selected Ethernet switch has a large bandwidth capacity. Minimum 1
Gb (1000BASE-T) is required.
• Ethernet cables
It is very important that high-quality Ethernet cables are used. You must use Cat 5e STP
(Shielded Twisted Pair) quality or better.
Neither tools nor instruments are required.
Context
When supplied, the Operating Panel is set up with the following communication parameters:
• IP Address: 157.237.60.20
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway: 157.237.60.1
The IP and MAC addresses for your Processor Unit are contained in a text file named
IPandMACaddress.txt
. The file contains the product name, IP address and MAC address in
the following format (example):
MF90
157.237.60.14
AC:1F:6B:1D:42:E6
Tip
If the distance between the Processor Unit and your second display is considerable, we
suggest that you use KVM (Keyboard Video Mouse) technology to preserve the video quality.
